After Sam Bradford’s struggles last season, his fan club has become less crowded.

Count ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski among those wondering whether Bradford will be as good the Rams hoped when they drafted him No. 1 overall in 2010.

Jaworski is ranking the NFL’s top 30 quarterbacks on ESPN SportsCenter, and Bradford is No. 20 on the list. One of Jaworski’s criticisms of Bradford is that he looked skittish in the pocket last season. He has already been sacked 70 times in 26 career games.

“In 2011, Bradford, with very few exceptions, did not look like the same confident quarterback that I saw as a rookie,” Jaworski said on SportsCenter. “He was tentative in the pocket, a function of both erratic offensive line play and receivers that could not win on the outside. But I was troubled by Bradford’s increasing tendency to anticipate the rush. I call that `cabin fever.’ And Bradford struggled with that.”

While Jaworski praised Bradford’s throwing ability, the Rams will need him to play better than he did last season to make a significant jump. Jeff Fisher accepted the job as Rams head coach believing Bradford would become a top quarterback. Over the next few seasons, we will see whether Bradford can silence his critics and prove Fisher right.
